A memorandum of understanding (MOU) has recently been signed between HKRA and the Canadian Association of Medical Radiation Technologists (CAMRT), whereby the Journal of Medical Imaging and Radiation Sciences (JMIRS) will become one of the official journals of HKRA.
The goal of this partnership is to provide HKRA members with online access to JMIRS to expand the scope of the dedicated readers and authors. Moreover, JMIRS will consider annual publication of HKRA meeting abstracts and supplements.

HKRA encourages members to actively participate in research and improvement projects of their work. However, presenting their project or research papers in overseas conferences would require costly traveling expenses. The conference sponsorship scheme has recently been reviewed to allocate more funding for our members in such activities. Members are welcome to apply for the sponsorship from the Association by submitting application forms , which can be downloaded from our Website.

HKRA will sponsor up to HK$5000 for each presenting member Radiographer and Radiation Therapist, with their project or scientific paper successfully accepted in the upcoming Asia-Australasia Conference of Radiological Technologists (AACRT). Please refer to the following file for application details.

Please find the enquiry on 31 March 2012, from Legislative Council Member Dr. Joseph Lee Kok Long to Chairman, Hong Kong Hospital Authority, regarding the regional manpower issues of Diagnostic Radiographers and pressure areas of radiological service provision, for your information and comments.
